Dr. Larry McCullough, Executive Director of Pinetree Institute, engages in thoughtful conversations with leading researchers and practitioners in such diverse fields as education, law enforcement, recovery and addiction, social services, mental health counseling, and medical services. Our guests share the insights, stories, and key discoveries of their work applying trauma responsive approaches to reducing the consequences of ACEs and boosting the impact of Positive Experiences. Not just for professionals, these episodes are helpful for parents, family members and community members wishing to understand how best to counter the destructive effects of ACEs through effective community response. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are linked to a host of long-term health and societal challenges from depression and suicide, to heart and lung disease, to incarceration and drop-outs. In response to the opioid addiction and overdose crisis in Southern Maine and the Seacoast region of New Hampshire, Pinetree Institute has committed to spreading awareness of the latest ACEs research and trauma responsive approaches to addressing the effects of ACEs on children and the adults they become.

Her seminal work through the Washington State Governor’s office applied research from the original ACEs study to collaborative, practical actions across service sectors. These actions led to profound reductions in seven major community challenges statewide. Ms. Porter discusses the study itself, her work in Washington, and how she scaled some of that success to the nationwide Master Trainer Initiative. Through this initiative, she and Dr. Rob Anda, one of the lead researchers from the ACEs study, train people to train others in presenting the topic of ACEs through a shame reduction strategy. They are building a network of trainers and presenters which is dramatically reducing community health, behavioral, and workforce challenges.

Laura Porter’s Bio

Laura Porter is a leader in efforts to use ACEs concepts to create community change. She is co-founder of ACE Interface, LLC, with Dr. Robert Anda. She develops and disseminates educational tools and strategies to improve population health, working with leaders in two dozen states on ACES-related at initiatives at the state and federal level. In Seattle, she is in the forefront of an effort to harness the pioneering NEAR science -- Neuroscience, Epigenetics, ACE and Resilience – to improve health outcomes for everyone. She is committed to developing market forces in the ACE social movement sufficient to sustain the courageous leaders using ACE and resilience science to build what she terms “self-healing communities.”

This recording was made in the early stages of the Covid-19 crisis and Dr. Bethell shares powerful insights personal stories with compelling implications for building and maintaining social connection in a time of physical distancing. Her perceptive explanation and examples of “presence” in relationships is particularly helpful in unearthing ways each of us can provide the healing medicine of connection during difficult times. As Dr. Bethell says “we are the medicine.”

Dr. Christina Bethell's Bio

For over 20 years Dr. Christina Bethell has worked to document and address the effects of childhood experiences on healthy growth and development. Dr. Bethell’s recent research on the impact of Positive Experiences, as reported in JAMA Pediatrics, Sept. 2019, evidenced that specific positive experiences during childhood and adolescence can significantly buffer against the negative outcomes of early adverse experiences. Dr. Bethell is the founding Director of the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative in the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. She brings an impressive set of credentials to this work including a Ph.D., MBA and Master of Public Health.
